Bangladesh this week has recovered 15.25 million U.S dollars of its money stolen in one of the world’s biggest cyber heists carried between the country’s central bank and New York Federal Reserve but it has exposed the weak security and firewalls of the bank as well as negligence on part of the fed.

CyberHackersSteal $45 Million in just 10 hours
With a haul of $45 million, it's being billed as possibly the biggest cyber-heist in history. But in reality, experts and authorities say, it was thousands of small but highly coordinated thefts.
Among the items seized from the seven men arrested in the U.S. Thursday were shopping bags from Gucci, a Porsche Panamera and a dozen fake credit cards.
The scheme, according to prosecutors, involved basically two parts:
First, hackers gained access to bank computers and downloaded prepaid debit card data while erasing their withdrawal limits.
Second, they passed the data to numerous "cashers" who cloned the cards and got to work withdrawing millions of dollars from ATMs.
For instance, little more than a year ago, , compromising up to 3 million accounts, Somers points out.
According to the federal indictment, on one occasion the eight individuals in the New York cell siphoned "at least $2.8 million from more than 750 ATMs in 2.5 hours."
So If all eight were working together, they would have had to hit "at least" one ATM every 96 seconds, averaging $2,333 per withdrawal.
In an even larger tranche of the master theft, cashers elsewhere used 12 card accounts with the withdrawal limits deactivated and got $40 million in 36,000 transactions over a 10-hour period.
That's one withdrawal averaging $1,111 every 10 seconds.
In this second case, it seems fair to assume that many duplicate cards might have been used to speed up the process.
the keys to the crime were inadequate cybersecurity that allowed hackers to penetrate the back-end systems at banks. Better security protocols and more secure networks could solve that problem, experts agree.
The second issue is the venerable magnetic stripe, a technology that Jim Pettitt, director of ATM security strategy and planning at Diebold, says has been around since the 1960s.
Encrypted chip technology is more secure. Europe has largely adopted it and the U.S. is "on the on-ramp," he says.
But don't expect that transition to come quickly; Pettitt says it could take a decade.

Bank Heist (Atari 2600)

Gameplay

Each level in Bank Heist is a maze-like city (similar to Pac-Man). The objective of the game is to rob as many banks as possible while avoiding the police. The player controls a car called the Getaway Car. The car has a limited amount of fuel, which can be refilled by changing cities. Robbing a bank will cause a cop car to appear, as well as another bank. Up to three cars can be present in a city at a time. Cars can be destroyed by dropping dynamite out the tail pipe of the Getaway Car (however, dynamite can also destroy the Getaway Car). The player starts out with four spare cars (lives). Lives are lost by running out of fuel, being hit by dynamite, or hitting a cop car. If the player can rob nine banks in one city, an extra car is earned.

The left and right difficulty switches alter how hard the game is. When the left difficulty switch is set to A, the cop cars are smarter in catching the Getaway Car; when it's set to B, enemy cars move in a more set pattern. When the right difficulty switch is set to A, the banks appear in random spots; when the switch is set to B, the banks appear in preset locations.

Biggest bank heist in history? Hackers steal millions of dollars.

Cyber theft has long replaced the 'traditional' concept of bank robberies. A much more sophisticated method of attack that has been in use for years has accelerated of late as a slew of hacks across the world has proven.
Recent international targets, including the US Federal Reserve, the Central Bank of the Philippines and Qatar National Bank (QNB) in Doha, have all been subject to notable security breaches.
What's striking, however, is the fact that in some instances, no money is being stolen. In QNB's case it was a robbery of data - hundreds of customers account details, including their passwords, their social media profiles, were posted onto a whistleblower website. No one really knows what's behind it, but it proved that data is alomost more valuable that money these days.
Where once the main purpose behind this activity was to make money, hacking and leaking information has now escalated into issues as prominent as state secrets, government intelligence and political gain as part of the 'hacktivism' movement.
With safety of the consumer remaining an issue due to the slow-paced movements of the enterprise world versus that of the ever-evolving technological capacity of the hacking world, the public is forced to brace for further and harder hitting attacks in times to come.
We talk to JamesLyne, director at the London-based SansSecurity Institute and the global head of Research of SOPHOS, about the impact of cyber theft and the future cyber crime.
We also talk to Nourulddin Aulabi, a former professor of information security at Strayer University and a cyber security consultant, about the issues behind cyber attacks.
Also on this episode of Counting the Cost:
Automobile industry secrets exposed: Mitsubishi, the world's 16th largest car manufacturer, is now also owning up to cheating quality tests. The Japanese car giant has confessed to faking fuel economy tests for the last 25 years - a lie that affects over 600,000 cars sold in that period in Japan alone. Aside from a sharp fall in market value over the last week, notable repercussions on the tail of similar scandals courtesy of Volkswagen and General Motors include considerable brand damage and in effect, a dramatic loss in consumer trust.
Ivory Coast: Africa's new foreign investment leader? The International Monetary Fund has highlighted the Ivory Coast as the fastest growing African economy for this year with a predicted growth of 8.5 percent, beating Nigeria as the top destination for foreign direct investment. The country continues to witness a period of relative calm since the end of the second civil war in 2011.
Tractors for Cuba: For the first time in more than half a century, a US company is returning to Cuban soil. The small Alabama tractor factory, which is planning to build tractors for private Cuban farmers, is expected to begin operating next year - another sign of growing ties between the two countries.

Bangladesh Cyber Bank Heist

Bangladesh this week has recovered 15.25 million U.S dollars of its money stolen in one of the world’s biggest cyber heists carried between the country’s central bank and New York Federal Reserve but it has exposed the weak security and firewalls of the bank as well as negligence on part of the fed.

Cyber Hackers Steal $45 Million in just 10 hours

CyberHackersSteal $45 Million in just 10 hours
With a haul of $45 million, it's being billed as possibly the biggest cyber-heist in history. But in reality, experts and authorities say, it was thousands of small but highly coordinated thefts.
Among the items seized from the seven men arrested in the U.S. Thursday were shopping bags from Gucci, a Porsche Panamera and a dozen fake credit cards.
The scheme, according to prosecutors, involved basically two parts:
First, hackers gained access to bank computers and downloaded prepaid debit card data while erasing their withdrawal limits.
Second, they passed the data to numerous "cashers" who cloned the cards and got to work withdrawing millions of dollars from ATMs.
For instance, little more than a year ago, , compromising up to 3 million accounts, Somers points out.
According to the federal indictment, on one occasion the eight individuals in the New York cell siphoned "at least $2.8 million from more than 750 ATMs in 2.5 hours."
So If all eight were working together, they would have had to hit "at least" one ATM every 96 seconds, averaging $2,333 per withdrawal.
In an even larger tranche of the master theft, cashers elsewhere used 12 card accounts with the withdrawal limits deactivated and got $40 million in 36,000 transactions over a 10-hour period.
That's one withdrawal averaging $1,111 every 10 seconds.
In this second case, it seems fair to assume that many duplicate cards might have been used to speed up the process.
the keys to the crime were inadequate cybersecurity that allowed hackers to penetrate the back-end systems at banks. Better security protocols and more secure networks could solve that problem, experts agree.
The second issue is the venerable magnetic stripe, a technology that Jim Pettitt, director of ATM security strategy and planning at Diebold, says has been around since the 1960s.
Encrypted chip technology is more secure. Europe has largely adopted it and the U.S. is "on the on-ramp," he says.
But don't expect that transition to come quickly; Pettitt says it could take a decade.

What's striking, however, is the fact that in some instances, no money is being stolen.
